Why Haven’t They Made These Games?

Like any geek worth their salt, I have a fair breadth of interests outside of video games. Sometimes I like to ask myself, “why hasn’t anyone made this game yet?”

I realize that some of these properties have already received obscure PC or Japanese releases, but most of these properties remain largely untapped. What do you think it would be like if they were made into games?

If previous attempts to turn an existing IP into a video game are any indication, these would probably all suck, but it’s fun to think about. What about you? What would you like to see turned into a game?

100 Bullets – Acclaim was working on a game based on Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso’s expert crime comic, but that fell through. Maybe D3’s attempt won’t get killed before it’s time.

Akira – Psychic teenagers, clown gangs, and the apocalypse, sounds like a video game already. You know Gears of War probably stole their space laser from Akira anyway.

The Authority – Wildstorm’s superhero team is like the Avengers or JLA, except they don’t mess around. They basically run the Earth, and they protect it from forces powerful enough to destroy it.

Deadpool – Marvel’s merc with a mouth is hot right now. It’s not hard not to see why. He’s like Wolverine, but more talkative, less hairy, and demented.
